He's a lame duck President. Anyone who understands politics knows the ramifications.

His ardent supporters might think he's a king, but Congress has to be aware of independents and not bending to the King on everthing, because they'll potentially a lot longer than he'll be which is just four years.

As he gets deeper into his Presidency, he'll become less a presence (and that will kill him). Not literally, settle down.

Maybe Trump can defend the pardons for J6 by saying "It wasn't them....it was really my fault".

And of course, Trump is President so there's no fault.

Brilliant Supreme Court!!!

From POLITICO, concerning J6 pardons:

Pardons for "most notorious participants in the attack".

Just wow.

How do you defend that?

Piss off with that. Dems threw everything they had at Trump and his allies and you are afraid Trump might follow suit.

Couple questions.

1. Should Trump have been impeached for events leading up to, including, and after J6?

2. Should Trump have been charged with not giving back/posessing classified documents?

Good hire, esp for the young QB they have there.

DET top 5 offense the last five years - and staying in the division makes it really interesting for fans of the NFC North.

And you hve Trump now pardoning all of J6.

This is the world we live in with DJT.

We can't commit crimes. But don't say we do, how dare you!!!!

Generally I would be against these pardons - and still am. Because they did nothing wrong and that would be proven in a court of law.

But there lies the problem. These people would most likely have to defend themselves in such a setting - which would be time and money - in particular, a WASTE of both and make their lives miserable. And when you consider Trump (breaker of norms) says he would possibly come after them with his justice department, the question maybe should be why wouldn't you pardon these people. This is the world we live in with Donald Trump.

Trump, on the other hand, who considers himself a martyr - actually did commit acts worthy of having charges brought against him. He just believed he was above the law.

Trump was exonerated by a jury of 78 million voters

Ehhhh.

A lot of those voters where voting him regardless of what he did to be perfectly honest.

And - as a whole - Americans are really the most forgetful and forgiving when it comes stuff like this.

We can all agree - including Bellinger - that Trump should have been impeached for his conduct up to, including, and following Jan 6. That's a big key. UP TO, INCLUDING, and FOLLOWING Jan 6.

People get roped into just Jan 6 - no, that's wrong. There was a ton of impeachable offenses by DJT.

Deserved to be impeached: Correct.

GOP: Lack Balls.

2025: Here we are with a guy who is President who in no way deserves to be anywhere near the White House.

I'll start by saying legally - I go back and forth on Trump's guilt. Large part of me says without a doubt guilty, but there's a small part that says in the real world getting a conviction against a President would be difficult.

But as far as impeachable offenses - this is it. This man should be no where near the White House. This why you have impeachment.

Shame on the GOP for not nipping this in the bud. This is on them.

Then why say it at all?

To piss people off.

Because quotes like that get printed and talked about.

Great way to govern............great leadership.

Let me ask you ... ... .do you really think there will be concessions/conditions on federal aid for this disaster?

Then why say it at all?

Realize there are people in CA suffering and on top of that, they have to read this? Is that leadership? Is that the way you conduct yourself?

This all stems from Trump and how he is as a person - you can even see it how he treats his own family.

Have said it before - worst person to have in a postiion such as this.

You saw the results with COVID. You see on a lower scale with this disaster.

Trump doesn't want to ruin the country on purpose - he'll ruin is just because of the person he is.
